Madness
Citizens & Saints Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I leave, you give that look
Trust me when I say that you need help
I was once like you, please don't give up
Madness, all around me madness
I could not have planned this
I just wanna get away
Sadness, disappear like magic
I just wanna get away
You have a strong desire
Lead yourself to the fire
Your problems make you tired
There is beauty behind the
Madness, all around me madness
I could not have planned this
I just wanna get away
Sadness, disappear like magic
I cannot attack this
I just wanna get away
Madness, madness, madness
I try to get away
Sadness, sadness
I'm drowning in sadness
I'm looking for the beauty
Lady luck, I see you dancing in the club
Name your price and I'll pay it up
For you are beauty behind the madness
Lady luck, You're all I have been looking for
Give me directions, I'll follow you
For you are the beauty behind the madness
For you're beauty behind the madness

The next verse delves deeper into the individual's personal struggle. The lyrics suggest that the person has a strong desire or attraction towards something that leads them into harmful situations metaphorically depicted as a fire. However, despite the weariness caused by their problems, the lyrics point out that there is beauty to be found behind the madness.

Shadows of doubt, stealing my sleep,
I'm wearing down without any relief
Tired eyes and a tangled up soul,
I'm feeling lost... I don't know
They keep on trying to soothe my grief,
But all that's left is a borrowed belief
It's truth I need not another cliché
Your word is my hope for a steady faith
Your mysteries are madness
Yet still they keep me captive
The more that I discover
The more that I'm in wonder
Your ways, your ways
Your ways are not my ways
Your thoughts, your thoughts
Your thoughts are not my thoughts
I want to understand,
But I cannot comprehend
I'm so lost
This world's so cruel, down to it's core
I'm drowning in doubt like never before
I thought with time, the wounds would all heal,
But still there's days when they're all that I feel
Yet the more I live, the more that I see,
The hurt I have isn't only on me
You can feel it too, and know what I need,
An anchored rock in a wicked sea
Your mysteries are madness
Yet still they keep me captive
The more that I discover
The more that I'm in wonder
Your ways, your ways
Your ways are not my ways
Your thoughts, your thoughts
Your thoughts are not my thoughts
I want to understand,
But I cannot comprehend
I'm so lost
Sometimes I wish, I never was born,
To feel the sting of a merciless world
The constant ache, of all of this grief,
Pressing me down but it's never defeat
Cause when I've reached, the end of my years,
I'll lift from the grave and I'll bury my tears
And I will see you face to face,
With brand-new eyes and a finished faith
Your ways, your ways
Your ways are not my ways
Your thoughts, your thoughts
Your thoughts are not my thoughts
I want to understand,
But I cannot comprehend
I'm so lost

When you eagerly await for him to call you home or to burst through the clouds in Glory, songs like this grab your soul and squeeze out true tears of desire! I know he knows best, and has work for me to complete, yet I pray for his hand to scoop me into eternity and set me free from the sin that is always crouching behind the door.
